yeah man dowwory im a noob too..but i hear very shitty things about bagseeds being very shitty...

normally when u buy 5 pack or 10 pack femminised seeds you'll get them from a very healthy fem plant so that could help you with the plant's dna being a good one....on the other hand bagseeds could be cheap and you wont mind the plant dying and with it your 100 dollar bill too...

does it have cracks or burn or anything on the leaves?
do you water too much or too little(although they dont look like they have been over watered)

ph you could check the amount it has to be between 6 to 8 for the plant if you want it to feed on the nutrients that you put into your water..
water could be a problem too ... but its also effeced by the nutrient you are using too it has to be a 20-10-10 or a 20-20-20 for vegging and then change to bloom nutrient for bud production ( other ppl told me to use these type of nutes with hydro maybe an expert in greenthumb could support this advice ...

it could also be light problem because sometimes there is not enough light to reach the bottom leaves....as long as the center top buds keep reproducing and dont die..your problem is small ( meaning that you might be doing something that ur not supposed to ) if the tops become fragile its time to panic ..


try to give some more detailed info on what ur growing and the soil ur using the lights etc it might help you get some better answers from moderators or elite users .




P S ...I dont know but the stem looks very tall for the little amount of leaves that the plant produced .. i hear indica make bushy leaves with little stems while sativa tend to grow big but i think that the Stem is stretching too much...maybe you could help her out with some extra light

what are you talking about bud hunter? Bagseeds are fine to grow they will be as good as or better then the bag you got them from, there is no need to spend a lot of money on seeds if you have no experience . I guess you're growing in miracle grow, does that pot have drainage, are you fertilizing, how often do you water, pH of the water?

Looks like a good first grow to me! Be thankful cause most people's first grows usually crash and burn. Pull your dead leaf off on the bottom and pack more soil around the base of the plant to stabilize it more..other than that you should be golden (unless its a male). Need anything else answered just hit me up :joint::mrgreen:

peace,

u should have read it all man :P...and im sorry but i still consider dutch seeds are better than bagseeds

as regarding the miracle grow im changing to sensi grow a&b ( they any good? ) but i am still waiting for the stuff as there is not 1 single hydro shop where i live and i cant get nothing better than miracle grow and everything is going good at the moment only some def coz i dont want to over do it, just a little to make the plant survive till they arrive

peas :)

i should have resolved. i think i was under-watering it. now i'm watering it much more and the leaves are not dying anymore.

That looks a bit like some ph issues...what is the runoff ph? Click on the link in my sig. and do a little reading/comparing.

try to use distilled water ...mine has grown rapidly and very healthy when i used that water with sensi grow a&b ..you should try it out.
also try to get some light man. i know ur trying to do this out but with the capability to have 24h light at your fingertips worked better for me than outside

yesterday i tried watering with water + lemon. now ph il 7.3. sometimes i read on internet that i need 7, other times 6, or even 5.5-5.9.. which is correct? there are also formed some holes in the leaves, as you can see from the photo. i don't think they are parasites because the holes look like chemical made and i've already found some parasites and succesfully destroyed them. you can also see how the leaves has degradeted in this meanwhile.. can you tell me why is this happening? is just the ph or also fertilizers (i remind you that i haven't use fertilizers so far)? before using fertilizers i was thinking of lowering the ph..
